Ragusa Pasta & Tiramisu Class: Cook 2 Dishes at Cesarina's

Cook pasta and tiramisu, then sit down to eat what you made

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class in a local home in Ragusa, where you learn two pasta recipes and tiramisu from a Cesarina (home cook) and taste everything with local wines. The class runs three hours and includes water, wine and coffee. You choose whether to end with lunch or dinner. English or Italian instruction available.

The experience

The class happens in a Cesarina's own kitchen in Ragusa, not a cooking school, but the home where she cooks for her family. You arrive and she walks you through making two pasta dishes and tiramisu from scratch, showing you the techniques and the small tricks that make the difference. You do the work with your hands, not watching a demonstration. She guides you through each step and explains why the region's cooks do it this way.

After three hours of cooking, you sit down together to taste what you made, with local wines, water and coffee included. You can choose to do this as lunch or dinner depending on which option you book at checkout. The Cesarina opens her home like you're part of the family, and the meal is the moment to eat the pasta and tiramisu while they're fresh and talk about what you learned. You leave with an official Le Cesarine apron: the network runs over 120 home cooks across Italy, all trained to teach travelers their family recipes.

Public transportation is available near the home, so you can reach it without a car. The class works for families with children of any age, and the instruction comes in English or Italian depending on which Cesarina is matched to your booking.
